    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1974 Kawasaki Kz400D Caf?/Brat style bike.


This bike is stripped down as a caf? racer/brat should be. If you don't want to kick start, adjust your idling, manage dual carbs, and basically have to man up to ride your bike this aint your bike. If you want to put on leather and ride a lazy boy recliner around town this aint your bike. If you want to ride a bike that you have to feel and ride and man up for, this may be your bike.

maybe he means "adjusting your idling". REAL MEN bend over the engine and tweak the screws at every stop light..

"[FONT=&quot]New Build last year. Driven all last season with no problems. New Tires ,battery , chain plus more at build. Black with Gold Metal flake paint with many extra add ons make this one kool urban ride. Built from a nice stock great running bike .Not built for highway cruising as it is a 425 cc machine. Might be great for someone with balance issue or some other reason for not ridding a regular bike. Really nice to stop at a traffic light or mounting off and on to start with not tipping over. Electric and kick start.- - - - Thanks for looking"

I've seen those front trike kits in person at the oyster run in Anacortes last year. that system is actually pretty cool, but pricey as hell!
 
Neat engineering and useful, but needs some visual design help…:-k
Kinda Cycloptic with just the one round headlight. :single_eye:
 
I like it too. But I do agree, it needs some visual help up front... 2 headlights, fenders? Something...
 
now that I look at it again, I don't think that's the same kits I saw on demo at the Oyster Run. the kits I saw had narrower tires and still allowed the bike to lean like it had 2 wheels. these are the kits I was thinking of:

like I said, PRICEY! you could buy 3-4 gs bikes for the price of one of the kits

Not the worst hack job we've seen. And he does have a bunch of the OE parts he removed. $1900 is steep, but closer than most "custom" "builders" are... I would be willing to make an offer...
